Not just the Arab world pal. He's a folk hero in countries all over the globe. He is one of my personal heros. The terrorists who have done the most damage worldwide have just left the Whitehouse this January.

From the second link:

A man in Tikrit, ousted president Saddam Hussein's home town, erected a sculpture of the shoe that Iraq's parliament ordered removed, and a Saudi businessman was said to have volunteered $10 million for Zaidi's shoes. A Lebanese channel offered him a job and said that if he accepted, it would retroactively pay him from the day he hurled the shoes.

Wow! That's even more than the Ruby Slippers! Well, I sincerely hope al-Zaidi never has to serve that time, but if he does I expect he will be treated unusually well during his incarceration.

That's an apt description of how Bush governed. It was amazing how little effect his critics seemed to have upon him. Supporters would say he had the courage of his convictions. Detractors would call it woefully and dangerously stubborn. We'll see what history says, but I suspect it will be positive.
